Sallas Builds - Center Point's Expert Commercial Fencing

In Center Point’s hot, dry summers, wood expands and contracts dramatically. If fence posts aren’t set deep enough or drainage is poor around the post bases, the shifting soil puts extra stress on boards. Sallas Builds addresses the root cause by using proper trench digging and excavation to create stable, well-drained post footings. This reduces movement and helps prevent cracks from forming.

Absolutely. Chain link corrosion is often worst at the base where moisture collects. If the posts are set in concrete without proper drainage, water sits against the metal. Sallas Builds can excavate around compromised posts, improve drainage with a gravel base, and reset the posts so that moisture doesn’t pool. This slows down rust and extends the life of your fence.

Look for leaning sections, cracks forming near the base of posts, or soil pulling away from the post hole. For chain link, check for rust streaks or loose concrete around the base. If you see these signs, call Sallas Builds. We’ll assess the soil conditions, dig out the problem area, and reinforce your fence’s foundation with proper backfill and drainage—saving you from a full replacement later.
